Symbolic political critique: Delhi court grants bail to 9 IYC workers in AI summit protest case
A Indian Youth Congress (IYC) court granted bail to nine workers arrested for a protest at the AI summit. The court ruled that the protest, which involved T-shirts with leadership imagery and slogans critical of the India-U.S. trade deal, was symbolic political critique and pre-trial detention would constitute "pre-emptive punishment." Delhi Police argued that the protesters raised provocative slogans and attacked police personnel during their attempt to stop them.
